Elmore Leonard’s Ten Rules of Writing
Here Elmore Leonard presents his “Ten Rules of Writing”. I note that both he and Stephen King are opposed to the use of adverbs. They also both, if my memory serves me correctly, warn writers to “Never use a verb other than ‘said’ to carry dialogue.” It is hard to argue with Leonard and King, but I’d like to propose one exception — “shouted.” (Via 43 folders.)
